🎯 Best Practices

  1. Architecture: Separate concerns (frontend, backend, database)
  2. Security: Hash passwords, validate inputs, use HTTPS
  3. Error Handling: Consistent error responses across app
  4. Documentation: README, API docs, code comments
  5. Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, E2E tests
  6. Performance: Optimize queries, lazy loading, caching
  7. Deployment: Environment configs, CI/CD pipelines
  8. Code Quality: ESLint, Prettier, consistent naming
